This very flattering sweater combines slim, 2 stitch cables with diagonals of easy eyelet panels. Gorgeous wide fit sleeves are worked top down, with stitches decreased above the rib cuffs, giving a gently puffed sleeve. It’s worked in a lovely bamboo & cotton yarn - great if you have sensitive skin, but would also work in a wool yarn like King Cole Luxury Merino DK or Majestic DK. The main body is worked bottom up and full written instructions are given.
